Marcia was such a lovely lady, at all times, and she will be sorely missed by everyone who knew her, especially those from the old Harmarville Rehab Center. Joyce Matthews

Marcia was and will remain in my mind a woman who was a great supporter of so many cultural as well as community projects which benefited the City Of Pittsburgh as well as the suburban community of Mt. Lebanon.

I also so admired her love of family

and her terrific sense of humor.



It was a privilege to have the opportunity to enjoy lunches at the PAA with Marcia as well as be included as a guest at a number of the Singley Christmas Parties.

Marcia was a "gem" among us and will always be remembered so.
